Also known as Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero. My parents played her often when I was a baby.
Thanks to TikTok, this song charted this year, 63 years after being released as the b-side of a 1962 single:
She was a superstar back in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
Her song "Lipstick On Your Collar" was one of my favourites in my very early teens.
She experienced some tragic setbacks in her life, but managed to persevere in many different public capacities following them.
There is a long Wikipedia article describing them.

She unfortunately never fulled recovered from the horrific rape that she endured at the Howard Johnson's she was staying at after a performance in 1974.
